US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have developed a strong and productive relationship between them, a top American climate change official has said.
"President Obama and Prime Minister Modi have a very strong and productive relationship, not just on climate change but broadly," Todd Stern, the US Special Envoy on Climate Change said yesterday.
"It was a quite extraordinary fact that within the space of four months there were two head of the state visits, one first to the United States in September of 2014 and then Prime Minister Modi invited the President to India just four months later in January," the official said.
Thereafter the two leaders have had close communications with each other. "They met on the margins of the UNGA in New York and they met on the first day of the Paris meeting," Mr Stern said.
According to Mr Stern the meeting was very warm and positive, cordial and detailed.
